When Young Children Need Help

Help children using observation and reflection to create a comprehensive action plan. Almost anyone who works with three- to six-year-olds knows what it feels like to spend time with children who are particularly puzzling or challenging. This story-based book takes a close look at how early childhood professionals can make sense of what is going on with these hard-to-help children and provides a framework and practical strategies without leaning heavily on the medical and mental health diagnosis that often do little to help teachers understand how to be compassionate and effective forces for change in young children's lives.
